Originally known as Maker's Yard, Sherlock Yard was approved in 2021 and sits on a 2.5-acre site at the corner of Sherlock Street and Pershore Street next to the Smithfield development site.
It has been forward funded by property firm Get Living which will also operate the complex once it opens for residents.
Watkin Jones' group investment director George Dyer said: "This is our second scheme to top out with our partner Get Living this year as we collaborate on creating build-to-rent schemes that offer high-quality, sustainable places to live.
